Love a thriller, but will read or try most genres. Only added my reads since 2019 as I've probably forgotten the ending of any books read before then... 🙃

Really enjoyed the writing in this book, and the story did keep me guessing. The torture scenes were sometimes a little too explicit, and it did all feel a little dated in moments, but it was very fast-paced and great to read a UK-based crime novel set at that time! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Quite good thriller! Bit cliche at time at times but I liked the ending and thought the characters were generally unlikeable in a good way. Picked it up after reading The Turn of the Key by her last year and think this was better!

Funny and light read with some nice nuggets of wisdom and early comedy/life stories. Felt both honest and a bit disjointed at times (and maybe like she was trying to find things to write about, but that's only if I'm being really picky...). All that to one side, I thought it was a good read and I enjoyed finding out more about her!

Powerful account of the Holocaust. It doesn't describe the trauma he went through in heavy/great detail, but Night hit me with the day-to-day horrors that Elie endured and his thoughts about them while in the camps, as well as each short moment when something else was taken from him and his life was changed again.
